i don't think john boehner has the votes to stay speaker if he gives into president obama because o opponents. they made it a circuit, made it very clear there's nothing to negotiate because the debt ceiling is not lifted. the president seems unwilling to call this a constitutional crisis and therefore invoke the 14th amendment to force the government to pay its bills even though they may turn out to be the only constitutional way out of this jam. therefore, yesterday was the first day we realized there was no way out if everyone sticks to his guns. that's something that seemed to elude people until friday afternoon when many investors thought there would be a deal to open the government and raise the debt ceiling for the moment or at least for the time that takes the nukes off the table. in the last 48 hours, the conversation has changed and it has changed dramatically. we've gone to think the default was impossible. you heard that, 1 in 10 million shot, we should play those tapes again, right? to thinking it's something not only on the table but it will be dealt with if and when it occurs.
